Week Two Strikes Back

Today I'm back on track. I did my three miles this morning, and I started my weightlifting regimen tonight. The running was hard. I felt like I didn't do as well as last week, and I didn't. Still, the difference is negligible. There's no sense sweating minutia, so long as I keep sweating towards the big goal.

For the weightlifting, I use James Orvis' Weight Training Workouts That Work. It's a great all over body workout that concentrates on the major muscle groups. I do three days a week weight training. The first week concentrates on just getting going. Today I did bench press, lat pull downs, curls, leg press, shoulder press, dumbell pullovers and crunches.

The weights weren't as heavy as they were the last time I did this, but that's to be expected. The important thing is building a routine.

I'm starting that.

For food, I had oatmeal, a scone at lunch, and tilapia with green beans for dinner. Also I had a caramel macchiato for a treat. Not the "best" food day, but not over the edge.

Today I feel tired, but good. Tomorrow I try to give Kekua her Happy Meal back.
